It happened to me many moons ago, it was 1994 (USA 94), Nigeria vs Italy. Baggio broke Nigeria's heart and my love broke my heart. Imagine lossing in the world cup and heart break at the same time.
Funny thing is my beest friend now, we talk about any and every thing

Holy Moses! Ikamefa still on Nairaland! wow, madam where have you been? Though am not on as always but its good to see you still here

@ Mama-gee,

You are one in a thousand no doubt, you crack me up all the time. Sorry for the few jibes from my honourable self but Nairaland would be boring without you. my advice to you is [size=10pt]You Don't Have Reply To Every Post [/size],. Cheers

How and where did Yahweh, Allah etc come from; did he/they just appear out of nothing in space and without cause? Please reduce the latin.

@Viaro,

I noticed how you picked on a small portion of my post, maybe I should have stated ASSUMING THAT GOD EXIST. how did he come to be?

1. Did God, All Knowing, All Powerful just appeared in empty space without cause, just like Big Bang?

I don deride any faith system, I only critique people who use faith based teachings to control billions in the world

@ Olaadegbu,

People of faith won't accept that the Universe created ITSELF aka BIG BANG. They insist that they must be a creator but Where Did GOD come from.

1. God created Himself. Is this not the same as BIG BANG? Out of Nothing in empty space God Appeared or Created Himself!

2. Something or Someone created God. If God did not created or appear out nothing in empty space, some higher power must have created him.

@Topic,

Its not just Nollywood "Yoruba" movies that potray this sad image of Africans (Black Race), in Nigeria especially the joke called nollywood, the Man of God is king, with " Pastor All Things Are Possible".

Typical Nigeria Prayer Meeting.

[size=14pt]ARTICLE OF FAITH:Stealing, killing and destroying [/size]



Femi Aribisala


I was reviewing this article, then titled "Ungodly Prayers," when the Lord suddenly spoke. He said: "Femi, it is written, ‘my house shall be called a house of prayer,' but they have made it a ‘den of thieves.' The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" (Mt 21:13; Jn 10:10).

Immediately, I understood him. Thieves now attend prayer-meetings where they steal, kill and destroy.

Malicious Prayers

At these prayer-meetings, you are likely to see "ogbologbo" Christians firing "return-to-sender missiles" with great alacrity. They might shout with "holy anger:" "Let my killer begin to kill himself now, in Jesus' name." Or they might make a decree: "I command the baptism of madness to fall on my stubborn enemies, in Jesus' name."

These thieves pray with passion borne out of pure "sanctified" hatred: "Every lying tongue against me; be destroyed now, in the name of Jesus." You can get to one meeting and find one thousand thieves chanting "die; die; die" in alarming frenzy. Who do they want consumed suddenly by Holy Ghost fire? "Every enemy of my marriage; every enemy of my destiny; every power planning to wage war against my divine vision; what are you waiting for, die in the name of Jesus."

Like the biblical Amalekites, these enemies are destroyed with fanfare, only to resurrect again and again.

Vengeful Prayers

In January 2008, armed robbers attacked a church on the outskirts of Lagos and raided some banks on the premises. The bishop took offence and cursed them. He directed his church-members to pray that the wrath of God would be visited on the criminals. He also cursed kidnappers operating in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. He asked God to kill them all. He said: "We place curse on their roots wherever they are and we pray that thunders of heaven will strike and the judgment of God will come upon them."

Is this bishop a follower of Jesus? I seriously doubt it. According to Jesus, those who curse their enemies and pray for their death cannot be sons of God (Mt 5:45). Sons of God love their enemies and repay evil for good. They don't swear or curse. They don't go to prayer-meetings and chant "die; die; die."

However, the doctrine of sacrifices, whereby people inherit land that is not theirs; kill off the rightful owners, and destroy entire tribes and races, has brought a devious spirit into the heart of Christianity, in spite of Jesus' warnings (Lk 9:51-56).

Unrighteous Prayers

I was at a fellowship when someone came up with a strange prayer-request. He had paid someone who promised to show him his WAEC exam papers beforehand.

However, the person not only failed to do so, he also refused to refund the money. In distress, this Christian "thief" asked us to pray to God so that he can "possess his possession." "After all," he maintained, "I have paid for the exam papers."

But how can we pray to a God of righteousness to fulfill ungodly petitions? The psalmist asks: "Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?" (Ps 14:4). Christians need to know that God does not attend the prayer-meetings of thieves and robbers. Thus, Asaph pleads: "O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?" (Ps 80:4)

Covetous Prayers

A friend attended a service where "baba isale" thieves were told to write prayer-requests on pieces of paper which were then given to the pastor.

Many allowed their imagination to run riot, asking God to give them what rightfully belonged to others. Some asked for all the properties in Lekki, a high-brow area of Lagos. Others asked for choice local industries and companies.

A major area of interest was the airlines. In this spiritual free for all, many of the local airlines became up for grabs. However, a problem arose when a poor unemployed church-member asked God to give him British Airways lock, stock and barrel. The pastor was not amused. That thief had gone too far. How could he expect God to give him British Airways?

But if God could give others the local Bellview and Albarka Airlines, why not the foreign British Airways? Is anything too difficult for God? Once we encourage covetousness in the name of prayer, how can we then draw arbitrary limitations? If God would give the property of others to us, what stops him from giving others our property?

This is what happens when thieves and robbers pastor churches. We end up by teaching men the tricks of our trade. Jesus says: "All who ever came before me are thieves and robbers" (Jn 10:. Those who came after are no better. Indeed, we are worse.

@post
The way most ppl live in naija is nothing but plain madness

Like pastors causing 3 day traffic jam!

@ Frosbel,

Boasting about wealth, high quality of living is usually from NID

@Debosky,

ol'boy relax, just like BlueDiva said each to his own. I know both sides of the debate, yes Nigeria offers me certain opportunities that I won't get in the Uk, Ireland  or mainland Europe. I spend more time in Nigeria now, yes I deal with all the ills that Nigeria offers but when Nigerians living in far of countries start screaming only about bad roads, nepa etc you know something is up.

debosky:


The endless pursuit of 'my car and my house are better than yours'.  

Some of the 200m land may be under the Atlantic Ocean in a few years if care is not taken.  

Of course everyone would like to have all their wants met (I don't know about a house costing 800m though - apart from the 'mine is bigger than yours' craze  )

Anyways, I am enjoying my neat little bungalow in downtown Onitsha.

Who be this Mavenbox; post one of His/Her threads.

harakiri:

As much as a lot of people will deny this, women do this more than men.The only reason it seems men are the worst culprits is because they don't cover their tracks, they do theirs openly for all to see and even brag about it.A woman on the other hand can tell you she's coming to your crib in the evening, [b]branch at Aloy Emeka's place for a quickie, [/b]rest there for a bit,shower,come to your place and tell you how much she misses you.

Utterly terrible!

Ha ha Lwkmd . After holy anointing from Aloy. I no fit south oh

@Ukotmi,

Curious story you have there, the end always justifies the means doesn't it? Your revelation is you can cheat, lie or brainwash a non-believer to heave; abi?

So this what I have been missing, instead of excercing my Faith to collect that un-collaterized two billion naira loan from my bank manager, I dey try toast her.

Father, I excercised my faith that even though I,m not qualified to get 100m naira, today by faith I must get 2 billion naira by faith, amen, by faith I say amen.

Laffing by faith to the bank first thing on monday.

Boko Haram was a reprisal attack for quality western education by your murderous jihadist in Brono, when those arrested were killed in cold blood, it was all over youtube, nairaland and even Christian sites where it was rightly condemned. Now you claim its the lack of western education ( Lack of Boko Haram is the reason why 500 souls were killed in Jos) Na wetin sef,

BTW, no Ijaw or Ibo army officer would dare kill a muslim in broad daylight in Allah's heartland. Go figure
